Chemical milk

Chemical milk

KARACHI:

Milk is considered a complete food. But in the case of Pakistan, especially Sindh, it is no exaggeration to say that milk is a complete poison. Artificial milk, made from chemicals, is openly sold without any fear. What is even more surprising is the lack of checks and balances on dairy shops. The food control department has completely failed to control the sale of chemical-laden milk.

Instead of providing nourishment, artificial milk causes many diseases, such as food poisoning, gastrointestinal complications, heart problems, cancer, and even death. What is even more shameful is that the owners of these dairies give their businesses names with religious connotations, such as ‘Makka Dairy’, ‘Madina Dairy’, ‘Mashallah Dairy’, or ‘Subhanullah Dairy’, while engaging in practices that are prohibited in Islam. The relevant authorities must take a strict action against those selling artificial milk, which poses health risks, and immediately ban the dairy shops where artificial milk is produced and sold.
